Our 10th time enjoying this breakfast. Character interaction is always great as is the food. Servers are always so sweet. The one thing I would love to see is a little variety in the princesses you see at the two princesses breakfasts. We saw the exact same princesses at both Akershus and Cinderella's Royal Table. Why not have some of the newer princesses? Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Giselle? That would be so fun!

Pros:

Princesses!

Cons:

Would like some character variety between the two Princess breakfasts

This is the 2nd time we've done the Princess Breakfast at Akershus and it's our favorite. I don't know if it's luck or misinformation but everything I read says Cinderella does not appear at this meal. Well we have done the breakfast twice and the lunch once and Cinderella has appeared each time. We are 3 for 3 in meeting her at this restaurant.

The food is good and plentiful. There were 5 of us and everyone went away full. The food while not spectacular is good standard breakfast fare of eggs, bacon, sausage, and potato casserole. Also the breads and pastries at the buffet were excellent.

In addition to Cinderella, we also met Belle, Snow White, Aurora, and Ariel. The girls loved getting their picture taken and showing off the princess gear they were wearing to each princess. I highly recommend this to anyone that loves the Disney Princesses.

Pros:

Great character interaction

Cons:

NONE

We enjoyed the food and they brought more of the hot platter. We had the free dining plan. If we had to pay we would have found it very expensive for breakfast. It would have cost 145$ for our family of 4. That's a lot for basically bacon, eggs and saugage. Yes the picture with the price is included but it's still a lot for a breakfast.

Pros:

Good food, characters

Cons:

Price

This was my 35th time since 1989, been to almost every restaurant in Disney World. 1st time here. I had 27 people in my party for my granddaughters birthday. Sat us together at 3 tables together. I did make the reservations 4 months in advance. Service, food, and princesses plenty. We saw 5 princesses, they paraded the kids all over the restaurant and came to the tables and spent as much time as you wanted. A manager would then come around and ask if the princesses spent enough time with us, he would send them out again if not. We said no they were great. Best kept secret in Disney. We went for lunch, and were told we could have as many entrees as you wanted. I have some picky eaters in the 27 and they all found something and loved it. In the end, I went to management and told her food, service, princesses were excellent. Will do it again.

Pros:

loved everything

Cons:

should of gone sooner

Pros:

Princesses, Food, Price, service

Cons:

None

I planned this breakfast because the food sounded good and it got us into Epcot before it opened. However, it took us twenty minutes to be seated and we were seated in an uninteresting corner. The food was lukewarm and gooey. I have had a better breakfast at a Holiday Inn. The eggs were runny and flavorless, the meat was all burned up, and the potato casserole was the only redeeming thing. It was nice to have fresh fruit, but the fruit was not worth $100 for two people. I would not recommend this restaurant at all! Better dining at Cinderella's castle with a better ambiance.

Pros:

getting into the park early

Cons:

the food

This is the best princess breakfast on Disney property. We've been here 3 times and 3 times were very satisfied.

The servers are all from Norway and the buffet portion of the breakfast has a variety of Norwegian foods, which adds a cultural learning opportunity for the kids. In addition to the buffet, a family style platter of food is brought to the table with eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes.

There is a photo with Belle before you are seated and then several other princesses come to the table during the meal.

This restaurant is very busy, very crowded and like all character dining experiences, hectic and loud. I would recommend checking in early, since you will wait for your name to be called after checking in, then wait in another line to meet Belle, and then seated for breakfast. However, this is by far our favorite princess breakfast and I think leaps and bounds better than Cinderella Castle (and is only one table service meal credit if you are on the dining plan!).

Pros:

Friendly service & princess too!

Cons:

Very crowded, long waits

We ate here on Easter morning, April 20th. We had reservations for 8:00 am. Seated right away. Belle was beautiful and great in character as always, loved getting 2 pictures because we were a party of 6 so my daughter was able to get a solo picture with her favorite princess. Buffet was good had a good amount of choices, hot food came out right away. The potato casserole was very good. We got refills on hot food with no trouble when asking. The princesses Cinderella, Ariel and Snow White, all came around quickly they did a princess processional during breakfast which was very cute. Cinderella did amazing in character even asked my 10 year old if she could introduce him to her step sisters 🙂 We however have done this once and it wasn't bad but its one we can put in our history books and try something else next time.

Pros:

Princesses, food

Cons:

What a great way to start the day. We had a 9:40 res. we were there about 15 min early. We were taken right away and escorted to take a pic with Belle. The lady with her was awesome. We had a party of 8 with 3 different families. She gave us 3 shots instead of two. The food was good. But your there for the princesses. Aurora, Ariel, Snow White, and Cinderella. They all spent more then enough time with kids. Overall the experience is great for a little girl. Prices was not bad. But if you don't want to stand in line and have a good breakfast then this is it .

Pros:

Great experience with kids

Cons:

None really
